    “these inbred, pedophilic, half alive cretins are your monarchy! They are your betters, bow to them and pay their bills!”

    It is absolutely moronic that we haven’t dragged every king on earth off his throne, made them private citizens and kicked them off the government payroll

    Edit: for anyone downvoting, my comment was light. What I actually believe is that once they are dragged them off the throne, they should be executed and tossed in the river. But I know that’s a bit far for 2024

      The far bigger issue is land owners in general.

      Targetting the Royal family and them alone will solve nothing. I’m pretty sure all their land money goes to the state anyway doesn’t it?

        They’re pretty much the American military of landowners, in that they own more land than the next 10+ biggest land owners combined.

        And no, I’m pretty sure that the majority of the income from their… mimes big bosoms vast tracts of land goes to them rather than the country as a whole. They’re one of the biggest public funds black holes in the world, just like the aforementioned military.

        You could feed, clothe and house every person in the UK for the rest of their lives with just a fraction of the land and riches that the royal leeches are hoarding.

      We did that with some of them. But there are also a lot of ‘royalists’ out there.
